Save Driving in Wisconsin

In 2011, travel on U.S. roads fell to its lowest level since 2003.  This decline made 2011 one of the safest years on record, but 2012 was a different story.  If you live in Wisconsin, you may remember the unseasonably warm weather we had on Easter last year.  According to NHTSA, “drivers logged 15.6 billion more miles behind the wheel in the first six months of 2012 alone.”   Higher travel, most likely due to the nicer weather, led to more fatality rates in 2012.  The spike in traffic deaths represent the most dramatic change since 1979.  2013 presents an opportunity to make some changes and take precautions for a much safer year.  If you’re in the process of choosing a safe vehicle for you and your family, you may find the links below both helpful and educational.
